PlusLa verdad es que el curso me gustó mucho y me sorprendió para bien. Pensé que sería algo más básico, pero me encontré con contenidos muy interesantes y útiles que no conocía. Aprendí bastante sobre el rol del community manager, cómo planificar contenidos, gestionar comunidades y también sobre la importancia de la estrategia digital. Me ayudó a tener una visión mucho más clara de lo que implica este trabajo y me dejó con muchas ganas de seguir aprendiendo más en esta área.
